A modest Proposal

They WILL sue a church to demand they get married there. It is coming, although a mosque would be more fun.

It wont happen, that whole pesky " freedom of religion" issue with the first ammendment wont let them.

You are forgetting the whole idea going around, like the case above, that your "religious freedom" doesn't allow you to discriminate against protected classes. The same people that make the Little Sisters of the Poor pay for abortions and birth control will do this as well.

So, some people's religions ARE allowed to discriminate? I wonder when disparate enforcement will become a winning argument.

There was a ballot proposal in Colorado this past November that had to do with this topic. I think they wanted to make it illegal for "chain gangs" to work. They called it something like indentured servitude of some such nonsense. The thought was even prisoners should not be compelled to work against their will. If I remember right, it failed.

HTRN, those suits are pretty well guaranteed. In CA, there were already civil unions with the same legal status as a marriage.

My con law prof suspected the only reason for such an intense fight was to lay the groundwork for suing folks for not performing such ceremonies.

It is a basis for an intense attack on religion/letting lots of lawyers have a basis for attacking various religious groups.
